Advantages:

Economical, Weather Resistant, Excellent Adhesion, Strength and Permanence, Safety.

Physical Properties:

Type = Acrylic Emulsion Coating.

Weight per Gallon = 10 lbs per gallon.

Flash Point = None – non flammable

Effect of Freezing = 5 freeze-thaw cycles – Satisfactory

Effect of Heat = 300 hours at 140F – Satisfactory

Surface Preparation:

At time of application, surface temperature must not be below 40F.

Surfaces = All surfaces must be clean, free from dirt, oil, grease, foreign matter and other surface contaminations. New concrete and masonry mortar must be etched with 10% solution of muriatic acid and then thoroughly flushed with cold water.

Variations in surface levels shall not exceed plus or minum3 degrees.

Any required leveling shall be done by the general contractor who shall remove high spots and fill low spots.

Prior Coatings:

Must be firmly bonded and in good condition. If there are any scaling, flaking, peeling or chipping, then the areas in doubt shall be wire brushed or scraped until all poorly bonded materials is removed. Pressure washing or sandblasting is suggested for extensive areas where previous coatings must be removed. Check with “Unity” Surfacing Systems directly or its sales reps for more details information or questions prior to application.

Application:

TopCoat PolyFloor Paint is a base coat – Stir until uniform viscosity is obtained.

Pour on area and spread uniformly with a squeegee, paintbrush, roller or sprayer. Apply at a rate of 100 sq. ft. per gallon on wide strips.

If a second coat is required for additional filling and to uniform the surface, apply at a rate of 100 sq. ft. per gallon at a right angle of the method of applying the first coat. With a sprayer or a wide hair type push broom or lambs wool roller apply at a rate of 200 sq. ft. per gallon to a uniform finish.

Brush apply with a nylon or fiber bristle brush working the material into voids, cracks and crevices to completely seal the surface properly. Finish off with a straight horizontal stroke, using the tip of the brush.

Roller apply the area after brushing for a more uniform finish. It is applied with a long nap masonry roller. Be sure to smooth off any lap marks. The use of a piece of expanded metal cut to fit into a 5 gallon pail and extending about ˝ feet out of the paid, will make it easier to take excess paint off the roller and allow it to drain back into the 5 gallon pail.

Line coat = approximately 300 sq. ft. per gallon (depending on the pin striping)
